Thanksgiving was created as a Christian holiday.
Deport the whole family together and you’ll avoid family separation.
Reb Eliezer, if the authorities could jail the entire family of illegals together Republicans the the right would be all for it. But the Democrats and the left got the liberal judges in the courts to rule that illegal alien children can’t be held in detention. That’s why there is family separation.
Reb Eliezer: No, if the children were born in the US to illegal aliens, the children are still US citizens (unfortunately.)
Nevertheless, even if the entire family are illegals, then they all should be arrested and jailed together until deportation.
YY: And that stuff isn’t available on a smartphone?!
YY: Just like virtually everyone agrees that killing is and should be legal in some rare circumstances, virtually everyone agrees abortion should be legal in some rare circumstances.
Milhouse: What about the propaganda against television, which has less bad material than a smartphone. Would you be okay if all your children’s rebbeim have a television in their homes?
YO — See the following OP:
Yehuda Yona: Halacha is not 100% against killing. There are situations where killing someone is mandated.
Should killing be legalized?
The Forward is an anti-Semitic rag.
Our common neighbor.
Tagging them with a filter is only a b’dieved for those that need it for business. If unneeded for business, there’s no business in having a smartphone in the first place.
Reb Eliezer, you’re comments poorly reflect upon yourself as a very desperate attempt to halachicly justify your political preferences.
Reb Eliezer, of course there were huge Sefardic gedolim. But numerically there have been far far more and even far greater Askenazic gedolim over the last several hundred years.
Thanks for sharing the important piece of information.
RebbeDebbie is a leitz who is posting on the main site and in the CR underhanded attacks on Yiddishkeit.
The Boss decides what stays here,
CTR: There are gedolei yisroel as well as pashuteh yidden in Eretz Yisroel and other non-English speaking countries that do not know English but are fluent in Yiddish. Hence, yes, there very certainly is great benefits for English-speakers to know Yiddish to communicate with Yidden the world over who don’t speak English.
CTR: I haven’t seen you complain about the Ivrit speech given at the last Siyum.
“If indeed the amount of Yiddish speeches corresponds to the percentage of people in Met life stadium who primarily speak that language and have difficulty understanding English then I back down and stand corrected.”
CTR: Yasher Koach for backing down and standing corrected like a mentsch.
I’d vote for the Yekke’s.
Unless Oberlander’s are more your cup of tea.
Mod-42’s been around for over a decade. In fact, since the first day of the CR. And a mod on the main site even before the CR existed.
I have heard countless cases where one of the parties responds to the hazmonos to Beis Din, and states that he/she does not want to divorce at all, and wants to engage in treatment to restore shalom bayis. This is a proverbial delay that guarantees nothing happens for quite some time. And when it comes to these issues, men and women are equally to blame.
TLIK: Why would you assume when one spouse sincerely is requesting shalom bayis, even if the other spouse is insisting on divorce, you’d assume insincerity in simply delaying the inevitable. The reality is that a spouse typically has the right to insist on the continuation of the marriage, as divorce on demand isn’t a right one spouse unilaterally can demand.
funnybone: Their divorce rate is significantly lower than the yeshivish. Only mentioning this since you asked.
The great talmidei chachomin in klal yisroel over the last almost 500 years have mostly come from among the Ashkenazim. 500+ years ago they largely came from the Sephardim, though there were of course the greatest of the greats, Rashi, as well as numerous others such as the Baalei Tosfos etc. that came from Ashkenaz.
The Ashkenzi OTD became the Reform etc starting some 200+ years ago. The Sephardi OTD became Catholics about 500-600 years ago. Today fully one third of modern day Spanish Christians descend from Sephardim.
Just want to remind ubiq to peruse through the Black Friday discounts while he’s enjoying the turkey at the family Thanksgiving dinner this week, so that he can chap some metziahs to distribute christmas presents to the kinderlach for Chanukah. 😂
Just don’t use a red stocking, as that’s a bit goyish…
Yeshiva Man: The Mendel Epstein (who is now doing 10 years of hard time in Federal penitentiary) gang wasn’t enough?
Reb Eliezer shlita: There a stira between your last two posts. First you wrote that the problem of learning during davening is that others might copy you and then there will be less than ten people answering the shatz, so you cannot learn during davening.
In your second comment you wrote that ten people need to listen to the leining, so it’s okay to learn during leining (I assume you’re only mattir that during leining if the minyan has more than ten people AND at least ten people aren’t learning during leining). Aside from that being contradictory comparatively (in that only in one you’re worried about there being less than ten), you also then changed the reason why you said not to learn during davening (to it being an individual chiyuv).
“Good Shabbos everyone!”
Thank you! And please be sure not to keep a full Shabbos before the conversion. 🙂
Besalel: What’s the stira (contradiction) between what you mentioned and what I mentioned? They’re two pieces of the same puzzle.
Or during leining. Other than between aliyos.
Akuperma: Why do famine and plagues result in delayed puberty?
The Eidah Chareidus is not Chasidish. Rav Shterbuch shlita isn’t Chasidish. Rav Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld ZT’L, its founder, isn’t Chasidish. They were anti-Zionist under their Litvish leadership.
Both the first and the second Satmar Rebbe’s were the leaders of the Eidah Chareidus. In fact, they are the only two leaders who didn’t live in Eretz Yisroel.
It is Time: Rav Hutner wore a Spudik like Gerrer’s.
Welcome to the family!
Of course the focus is on making money. Its a business.
CTRebbe: Do you also view Yeshivas as primarily businesses in it for the buck?
ftresi: After the war there was a large influx of Eastern European Yidden into America. They and their children and grandchildren today far outnumber the rest of Frum American Jews. So their Eastern European havara, as being the most populous, gradually replaced the old time modern type of American prewar havara as the Eastern Europeans and their offspring today represent most of the Klei Kodesh teaching Torah in the Yeshivos.
joseph you can add chaim berlin to the equation
they dont fit the mold of what a litvak is exactlysrugim: Rav Yitzchok Hutner ZT’L shtams from Gerrer Chasidim.
ITFT, I heard a joke where a grandfather dies considerably younger than his grandson, so when they get resurrected as they died, they will say that, he is the grandfather who looks substantially younger, will make us laugh .
Reb Eliezer: That isn’t a joke; it is the Emes. That is how is will happen at techiyas hameisim.
The chassidish pronounciation iof ee over oo is a problem because it does not distinguish between male and female. How does a chassidish cow go? mee mee instead of moo moo.
Reb Eliezer shlita: That isn’t a “chasidish pronunciation”; it is the same pronunciation used by the Chasam Sofer and other Oberlander Yidden. And that havara predates the existence of the chasidim,
Imagine if you had a common name — like Cohen.
Why now Oberlander or Yekkish?
Litvaks and Chassidim aren’t the only two games in town among Askenazim.
Benig: How can you advocate doing whatever you want after acknowledging it’s assur (avul patur)?
GHD: How’d you figure out that Charlie is my alter ego? Was it me posting as Charlie calling for a rule of no-shaving post-Bar Mitzvah?
Knaidlach: I’m completely mochel any shadchanus gelt if the shidduch I proposed above you is IY”H successful.
Phil and Godolhadorah.
kollelman: How did you manage to compare the two?
